«This brilliantly written read is original, surprising, funny and clever. I raced to the end, totally engrossed by McLaren's forensic examination of the demise of this very modern marriage. Wonderful - I loved it.»

Sara Lawrence, Daily Mail

«A crisply written satire.»

Marian Ryan, Mail on Sunday

«McLaren's deft prose crackles... A Better Man is unexpectedly beautiful»

Globe and Mail

«A gripping, intimate book that will thrill with its juicy plot and win you over with its powerful insight into relationships.»

Book Page

«Inside every couple's marriage is a secret known only to them. One of the many pleasures of Leah McLaren's novel is the way she opens a window onto that secret, with great heart and wit. Wince in recognition then laugh out loud, just like life.»

Elizabeth Renzetti, author of BASED ON A TRUE STORY

«In this engrossing new novel, Leah McLaren deftly balances humour and pathos to weave a touching, entertaining portrait of a marriage in crisis. A great read!»

Terry Fallis, bestselling author of NO RELATION

«A brilliant fresh take on the collapse of a modern marriage. Well-observed, beautifully written but mostly screechingly funny. I laughed, I gasped. Give it to all your friends.»
